Former West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has told global TV viewers that the Hammers new home at the London Stadium isn’t a proper football stadium.

Bilic was doing TV commentary for beIN Sports when speaking about the London Stadium said “It isn’t a football stadium”

While still manager of West Ham he was more diplomatic telling Gary Lineker in a BBC TV interview

‘When you say it doesn’t feel like Upton Park, it is kind of negative. London Stadium is like a new home, you love it but not the same.

It takes time, it is the same here. Some many things are brilliant about it”

It appears Bilic has had a change of heart and now feels he is free to share his real thoughts on the former Olympic Stadium.
